This week saw the arrival of Donna Jackson, played by Jaye Jacobs, whose return to the cast was announced alongside the news that Lee was to join the Holby City ranks. In his briefest appearance yet, Lofty's involvement this week was in providing moral support, plus a wonderful range of facial expressions and a few nifty footsteps, to Sacha in the face of intense maternal match-making pressure, of the kind only a Jewish mother can wield!

The full episode will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer until Thursday 27 July and, with my apologies to those of the cast who have hit the cutting room floor, here's the 'Meady bits' edit (though this week, that is perhaps an unfortunate phrase to use!) There are also a few
screencaps from this week's episode.
